2 Top Leadership Traits of Every Successful Leader in Home Business

Do you consider yourself a leader in your home business?

Are you looking for other leaders to join your business?
Make sure you have these 2 top leadership traits and you are looking for them in your prospects.

1. Personal Responsibility – Taking Ownership

When I started in my business, my sponsor brought me in and was gone in about 90 days.

I had a choice:

1) I could quit because I didn’t have someone to “follow” right in front of me, or,
2) take full responsibility for my business and keep going.

Over 8 years later, I’m still here, with a strong residual income and growing team because I knew that her actions had nothing to do with my success. I could make my own choices for my own future….which I did.

Listen for Leadership Traits

If you’re prospecting someone and you hear things like “so what all will you be doing for me?” or “I was in another company and I just didn’t get enough support or training”.

You want to listen closely to determine if you have someone who, once they get started, will be constantly waiting on you to take action, or expecting you to do their work for them.

If so, you might want to tell them it’s not a fit for them. I know that sounds harsh, but I’ve been on the other side, many times, and it’s not fun.

Set Expectations

They will have all the tools and training available via their back office, Facebook group, webinars, etc. It will be THEIR job to contact their prospects, plug in, and learn their new business.

I’ve heard of some leaders who call their team every day, asking “who do you have for me to talk to?” I personally don’t want dependent reps, I want independent, meaning they have taken ownership and are taking action. Those that call me back are the ones I am working with.

That’s a leader who is demonstrating a top leadership trait, and that’s who you want to enroll into your business.

2. Servant Leadership – Put Others Needs Above Your Own

This 2nd leadership trait is so important!

It’s not about you….ever…in this kind of business.

The more we help others, the more we really do help ourselves because of the way our home business model works.
